Virtual Eye News

The big event for us in March was the New Zealand Golf Open, where we provided tracking and course graphics, and took the opportunity to test out new ways to track and deliver golf ball trajectories. Our research includes trying different methods of screen-mapping the path of golf balls by integrating different technologies (such as drones) into tournament coverage, and pushing that coverage to the ever increasing range of devices Golf fans around the world are choosing to use.

New Zealand was host to the Australian Cricket team in February, and Virtual Eye Cricket staff were also in attendance - providing ball-tracking and graphics for both the ODI and Test series in Auckland, Wellington, Hamilton and Christchurch. Virtual Eye Golf set up shop in the U.A.E to cover the Omega Dubai Desert Classic early in the month, before heading to Australia for the Perth International at Lake Karrinyup Country Club. The final event for February on the Virtual Eye calendar was the first ever Louis Vuitton America's Cup World Series Oman, held in the Oman capital, Muscat.
